Disgusting!

The Republican Party in Clark County, Washington, officially endorsed the "Obama is a Muslim" hoax on its main web site.
Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. […] It is reported that Obama swore his oath of office using the Koran and pictures have shown him standing for the Pledge but not reciting it and holding his hands to his side while others place their hands over their hearts.
When caught, the GOP smear-mongers deleted the article. I called the Clark County GOP office. For some reason, no-one is picking up the phone this day.

No matter how furious the intra-party squabbling becomes this primary season, Democrats should never forget the true nature of the Republican party. Next time you hear some boob on Kos say "If Hillary wins, I'm voting McCain!" -- remind that person of this sorry episode, and of the many similar episodes we've experienced over the past thirty years.

Can't you embed the part from the Myrtle Beach CNN debate when Obama replies to that stuff? He said "I am a Xtian" and "I've led the pledge in the Senate" (or words to that effect). I forget who asked that, but it smacks of religious test mongering with a fear garnish. Me, I ask: "Senator, how can you continue to pledge allegiance to a flag which does not yet represent the District of Columbia?"
